I have checked out the EVO rockstar skids but what happen when you move the shock up 1.5" wont you loose wheel travel? I like the idea of more ground clearance. I also been looking at the Rebel offroad Ginders which keeps the shock mounted at the stock location. What do you guys think? Also just checked out the Ruff Stuff and the Riddler diff covers both are very impressive. Where do the ARBs stand? I really like the looks of them but are they as good as they say they are? Thanks again

I put in extended lines to (came with RK kit). The additional travel with the Rock Stars is great and the extra clearance in the rocks is great, especially if you are running 35s like I do. The Rocks Stars:
I think they are one of the better investments you can make on a JK.
- Give better travel
- Better clearance
- Add armor to the shock

I run riddler diff covers and EVO rock stars and love them. I got riddler cause they are cheap and so am I. However I love the look of the new Poison Spyder Bomb proof diff covers. I just like the spyder design and I have had good luck with my posion spyder gear. Riddlers work just fine PSC are just flashy-er, you know if your in to that kind of stuff. As for the evo rock stars I love them. I fabbed up a different rear shock spacer that I use in place of the Teraflex 2.5" shock adapter that came with my lift. I could have removed the Teraflex adapter when I added the rockstars but opted to make my own to really maximize my flex. So far no regrets and I have had this set-up for quite awhile.
